4. Immigrants often serve our national economic interests by bringing skills and resources to the service of the U.S. economy. That is not the case for the largely unskilled and uneducated agricultural workers and casual laborers who make up the bulk of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico and Latin America.

We are bringing in plenty of unskilled and uneducated LEGAL immigrants. We have a kinship system where immigrants here can sponsor their relatives to join them. We bring in 1.1 million LEGAL immigrants a year with only about 12% coming here due to their skills.

LEGAL immigrants use welfare to a greater extent than the native born.

Table 5 identifies the real problem. What America needs is more immigration from among the peoples and cultures that built her, not more 3rd-worlders looking for government gimmes. But of course that’s not going to happen, and that’s why I think America’s best days are very much behind her.

“LEGAL immigrants use welfare to a greater extent than the native born.”

See that all the time here in SoCal. We legally import people who increase our welfare burden.
